NAME THAT Triangle
obtuse
1 obtuse angle
right
1 right angle
isosceles
2 congruent sides
acute
3 acute angles
equiangular
3 congruent angles
equilateral
3 congruent sides
the ones that are equal, plug them in to eachother of find the x, them plug the x into the other expression
CDE triangle is and isoceles triangle with CD congruent to DE. If CD = something DE = somethinggg and CE = somthhhing find x and the measure of each side
its equiangular
a triangle is equilateral if and only if
exterior angle of a triangle
an angle thata is adjacent to the interior angle of the triangle and is formed by extending the side of the triangle
exterior angle theorem
an exterior angle is formed by extending any one side of the triangle
isosoceles triangles theorem
if 2 sides of a triangle are congruent then the angles opposite those sides are congruent if AB congruent to CD then A CONGRUENT C
converse of isosceles triangles theorem
if A CONGRUENT C then AB congruent to CB
60 degrees
if its and equalateral triangle what does each angle equal
pick 2 expressions doesnt. matter because they are all equal and equal them to each other to find the x, then plug the new x with one of them, and that anwer should be the answer to all of them
if triangle jkl is an equilateral triangle, JK= 13x + 5, KL =17x+19 JL = 8x +35
you add up the like terms and you equal it to 180 degrees
if you are given 3 angles in a word problem to find x and the measures of
scalene
no congruent sides
the exterior angle is equal to the sum
of the non adjacent interior angles of a triangle
triangle sum theorem
the sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle equals 180
use the formula ( x-y )2 + (x-y)2 under a square root sign
when you are given the side measures of a triangle how do you find them
